to be fired.

The amazing thing is no conference wins.

That's a sort of reverse accomplishment - this is basketball - middling teams beat very good teams regularly in this sport.

And yet, this team is so mentally in the tank they can't even muster a decent showing against fellow bottom dwellers.

This season is a one-off throw-away, but the interesting thing to watch is: can this team maintain a lack of pride sufficient to lose out?

If there were anyone from MJ's generation on this squad they'd be 'taken it personal' by now.

I guess we'll see.
